Sweet Potato Station: 30 Sweet and Savory Dishes

With origins in Peru, sweet potatoes were introduced to the rest of the world by Christopher Columbus. It wasn't until the mid 1700s that the term sweet potato was used to distinguish it from the more common white potato. They have now become a staple during the fall season and for good reason: they are packed with vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants, and loaded with a rich flavor.
